After publically saying that it was canceling four non-racing events in 2013, the Circuit of the Americas is apparently pulling a 180.

On Saturday, Julie Loignon, a spokesperson for COTA, addressed rumors of the cancellations, saying that COTA had reached out to four driving school events to tell their organizers that they would not be able to host their events. She said full refunds would be given.

However, after an afternoon of being lambasted on Twitter, COTA has had a change of heart.

Early Saturday evening, Lognon said that COTA had reconsidered, and would honor all previous commitments.

“We are moving ahead with these agreements and contacting clients so they can share this information with their members and customers,” she said. “The executed rental agreements will limit the number of vehicles we have on track at any given time to ensure a fun and safe experience for participants, including any amateur drivers who will be participating. We regret the confusion that was caused as we worked through these issues with our clients and look forward to providing a one-of-a-kind experience to auto enthusiasts coming to Circuit of The Americas through our track rental program.”
